- Undealt farming works best when your party farms a stage it clears reliably, not one where heroes die repeatedly.
- Offline rewards are based on your highest reachable stage, so push first, then park and farm.
- Salvage white/green gear into materials — selling it yields almost nothing.
- Loot Whisperer card boosts gold and material drops for dedicated farming decks.
- Tradeable drops should be checked against Steam Community Market prices before salvaging.
How Farming Works in Undealt
Undealt is a corner-screen idle RPG where four heroes battle automatically, so farming efficiency comes almost entirely from preparation — the right stage, the right build, and the right loot pipeline. Your job between fights is to optimize gear, skills, and cards so the auto-battle engine earns as much as possible per hour.
The core income sources are stage drops (gold, gear, crafting materials), offline idle rewards, and endgame tradeable items tied to the real Steam Community Market.
Farm a stage your party clears at a high win rate. A stage you barely beat produces deaths, downtime, and poor drops — a stage you clear consistently generates far more income per hour.
| Income Source | What It Gives | Key Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Idle stage farming | Gold, gear drops, crafting materials | High clear-rate stage |
| Offline rewards | Capped accumulated income while away | Highest reachable stage |
| Elite/boss kills | Cursed Essence, blue/purple gear | Frontline survivability |
| Endgame tradeables | Real Steam Market value | Deep-stage access |
Best Farming Stages by Game Phase
Stage choice changes as your party grows. Push stages when progression is cheap, then settle into a comfortable farming spot whenever upgrades become expensive.
| Phase | Farm Target | Priority Drops | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Early | Highest reliable stage | Scrap Metal, gear for equipping | Fast clears, constant drops |
| Mid | Elite-heavy stages | Blue gear, Cursed Essence | Elite drops feed forge rerolls |
| Late | Endgame tradeable stages | Market-listable items, rare materials | Real Steam Wallet value per hour |
For endgame profit farming, optimize your build for stage-clear speed rather than boss burst damage. Track drops per hour, convert to expected market value, and switch stages when the math favors another route.
Do not park on a stage where your frontline dies repeatedly — offline rewards and drop rates both suffer. Drop back one or two stages if clears become inconsistent.
Farming Builds That Maximize Income
Every hero can be steered toward farming efficiency through affixes, skills, and cards. These are the strongest farming-oriented setups.
Gunslinger Crit Farmer
- Crit Chance + Crit Damage affixes
- Attack Speed for more procs
- Beginner-friendly, scales while idle
Trickster Card Engine
- Card Draw Rate stacking
- Cheap effects flood every wave
- Advanced playstyle, multiplicative scaling
Bruiser AFK Anchor
- Max HP + Damage Reflection
- Survives indefinitely on farm stages
- Keeps clears consistent for hours
Card choices matter as much as gear for farming loops:
| Card | Category | Farming Value |
|---|---|---|
| Loot Whisperer | Economy / Farming | Directly increases gold and material drops — best farming card |
| Offensive Surge | Damage Boost | Faster clears, more kills per hour |
| Guardian Aegis | Defense / Sustain | Keeps the frontline alive on long farm sessions |
| Rule Rewrite: Extra Turn | Rule Rewriting | Extra actions multiply clear speed on high-damage heroes |
Pair Smokescreen with Lucky Streak on the Gunslinger to guarantee crit windows on every wave reset, or stack Sleight of Hand with Recycle on the Trickster to redraw and replay key cards each combat cycle.
Loot Handling Pipeline: Keep, Salvage, Sell
Farming produces far more loot than you can use. A disciplined pipeline turns drops into progression instead of inventory clutter.
| Loot Type | Source | Action |
|---|---|---|
| White / Green gear | Standard stage drops | Salvage into materials — selling yields almost nothing |
| Blue / Purple gear | Elite enemy drops | Keep only correct main-stat pieces, salvage the rest |
| Scrap Metal | Stages + salvaged gear | Never sell — used in nearly every early recipe |
| Cursed Essence | Elite and boss kills | Reserve for high-tier crafts only |
| Tradeable items | Endgame boss drops | Check Market prices first — some sell for real value |
Sort Drops After Each Session
Equip pieces with the correct main stat for each hero's role; set aside everything else.
Salvage Low Rarity
Convert all white and green gear plus incorrect-stat blues into crafting materials.
Check Tradeables on the Market
Look up price history on any item with the tradeable icon before deciding to salvage it.
Reinvest into the Forge
Upgrade weapons for your damage dealers first — flat damage speeds up every future farm run.
Only reroll affixes on rare-or-higher gear with a good base. Never spend Cursed Essence rerolling blue items or lower.
Selling on the Steam Market
Undealt integrates directly with the real Steam Community Market, which turns farming into potential Steam Wallet funds. Cosmetic gear skins, rare endgame equipment drops, and special deep-stage crafting materials are the main tradeable categories — regular leveling loot is account-bound.
Pricing discipline matters. Price slightly below the lowest existing sell order for fast sales, or at market rate if you can wait. Sell in small batches — aggressive undercutting crashes the price for everyone, including your future drops. Steam's transaction fee applies to every sale, so factor it into your profit math.
When new content drops, material demand spikes — hold inventory during hype windows and sell into the spike. If mass farmers flood one item, prices collapse fast, so diversify what you farm.

FAQ
Q: What is the best stage to farm in Undealt?
The best farming stage is the highest one your four-hero party clears reliably without deaths. Push stages when upgrades are cheap, then drop back one or two stages whenever clears become inconsistent — consistent clears beat risky pushes for income per hour.
Q: Should I sell or salvage low-rarity gear?
Salvage it. White and green gear sells for almost nothing, but salvaging produces Scrap Metal, which is used in nearly every early forge recipe. Only endgame tradeable drops are worth listing on the Steam Community Market.
Q: Which card is best for farming?
Loot Whisperer is the dedicated farming card — it increases gold and material drops without changing combat outcomes. Pair it with damage cards like Offensive Surge so clears stay fast, and Guardian Aegis for long unattended sessions.
Q: How does offline farming work in Undealt?
The game continues progressing while closed. Offline rewards are calculated from your highest reachable stage and accumulate up to a capped duration. Before logging off, make sure your party is parked on a stage they clear reliably, then claim the accumulated rewards when you return.
